Resort Info

Host to the 1991 World Ski Championship, Saalbach is part of the extensive Ski Circus, one of Austria’s greatest linked ski areas covering over 200km of prepared piste. With nine different access points in the valley, you have an almost endless choice of access to the Ski Circus. This can be skied in either direction – a hard day out for a competent skier – and is also linked to Leogang in the next valley.
The numerous gondolas, chair lifts and drag lifts starting from the village allow excellent access to this vast ski area. The wide, gentle nursery slopes are positioned close to the village centre, perfect for beginners. There are excellent skiing possibilities for the intermediate skier from the Bernkogel and Kohlmais mountains above Saalbach, while the Zwolferkogel run down to the nearby village of Hinterglemm is most exhilarating. For more advanced skiers, there are several steep black runs on the Ski Circuit, the most challenging being the mogul field at the top of the Schattberg cable car back to Saalbach. There are also excellent off-piste possibilities.

This is a good all-round snowboard resort with 12km of snowboard-only area with two halfpipes and a fun park.

Saalbach offers quite a sophisticated après ski scene, but with a lively and traditional atmosphere.
